NAPLAN Test Administration website

The NAPLAN Helpdesk team wishes to thank schools for their cooperation in completing the tasks relating to the enrolment phase of the administration process. The NAPLAN Test Administration website will soon be closed and will reopen on Monday 16 April 2018 with student enrolment information for the test phase. During this phase, schools will be asked to complete tasks related to student participation in the tests. Instructions for using the website to complete the tasks during test phase will be made available in Term 2.

Schools with queries related to any aspect of NAPLAN 2018 should contact the NAPLAN Helpdesk on 1800 648 637 or at: vcaa.naplan.help@edumail.vic.gov.au.

NAPLAN Equating Study

Each year the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) undertakes an Equating Study to enable the results from the NAPLAN tests to be reported on the same scales from year to year.

The NAPLAN Equating Study is a very important aspect of the NAPLAN testing program as it ensures consistency and fairness in the reporting of student results. Participation in the Equating Study is a mandatory part of the NAPLAN program for schools that are selected to participate.

The VCAA will contact schools shortly and notify them of their selection.
